This Is the Suitcase You’ll See Us Carrying This Summer

Durable, chic, and sustainable, Horizn Studios luggage is the ideal travel companion.

At Full-Time Travel, we spend a lot of time considering every aspect of planning the perfect getaway: the destination, the hotels, the experiences that go beyond the ordinary, and, of course, the luggage for carrying the essentials along the way.

Having the right luggage can make or break a trip—a fact that anyone who has attempted to drag a suitcase with subpar wheels across European cobblestone streets can attest to. In our opinion, the best luggage is the kind you don’t have to think about—the kind you can trust to always keep up, no matter where you’re headed or how overpacked those bags might be.

A brand whose products do just that? Horizn Studios. For the last decade, Horizn has set the standard of what high-quality luggage looks like: from built-in chargers (Horizn’s were the first) and multistage telescopic handles to silent 360-degree spinner wheels and durable hard-shell casings that stand up to even the roughest trips to baggage claim.

Here, we share everything you need to know about what makes Horizn’s products ultimate travel companions (so you can spend more time planning the other parts of your trip).

The Luggage

Engineered in Germany and made using premium, ultra-durable materials, Horizn Studios has a suitcase for every type of traveler. The brand’s four collections make it easy to choose a case based on what matters most to you:

• Go for Pro if you’re a constant traveler and chronic overpacker. The new range, which launched in February and has quickly become a bestseller, features Horizn’s strongest hard-shell case yet, a compression pad, and a built-in laundry bag to keep dirty clothes organized.
• If you’re the kind of traveler who loves to hotel hop, opt for the ultra-lightweight Air collection. The carry-on suitcase weighs under five pounds, which is an impressive two pounds less than the same-size suitcase from comparable brands.
• Look for the Essential line to blend the best of Pro and Air, maximizing durability while minimizing weight.
• To minimize your impact while you explore the world, go for a suitcase from the Re collection, which is made using 97 percent recycled high-end polycarbonate (the highest percentage of recycled materials used by any brand on the market).

Each collection includes carry-on-friendly cabin bags—some of which feature an external zippered pouch, perfect for a laptop—and checked luggage in sizes designed for shorter trips and extended getaways. Inside, all feature a water-resistant lining and zippered screens to keep everything secure and organized while you’re on the go. They also come in a range of glossy and matte colors—including a new Coastal Blue that is begging for a trip to the Azores.

All Horizn Studios luggage comes with a lifetime warranty, though we doubt you’ll need it. And, ever the innovators, the brand is currently developing Circle One: a truly sustainable line of luggage showcasing a cutting-edge, plant-based hard shell that is designed to be repaired and never replaced.

The Travel Accessories

Though most recognizable for its suitcases (thanks, in part, to collaborations with marquee names like BMW, Beats by Dre, and Soho House), Horizn Studios also makes a wide range of travel accessories, all designed with the same eye for form and functionality.

The clever Top Case is perfect for short trips where you can get away with just a carry-on—it’s just big enough to fit your favorite headphones and a book, and slots securely over the handle of your suitcase. The backpacks and weekender bags are just as thoughtfully designed, made in ultra-lightweight, water-sealed cotton canvas or Ripstop fabric that can stand up to even the rainiest travel days.

Beyond Functional

Horizn Studios suitcases, bags, and accessories all hold up to our number one requirement when it comes to luggage: They’re travel companions you don’t have to think twice about. They’re high-quality and feature a distinctive design that won’t get lost in a sea of identical suitcases at baggage claim.
